We needed our 35 yr old wooden deck replaced. Angie came to our house with samples of decking and…read morerailing, took measurements, gave us a ballpark estimate. Very knowledgeable about composite decking and answered all our questions. She left the samples for us and gave us time to decide. No high-pressure sales! We started this process pretty late in the spring, so had to wait till August until they could get to us, but it was so worth the wait! Chris and his crew were professional, knew exactly what they were doing, but always had time to be pleasant and chat/answer questions. Their work is pristine; every joint matches exactly. We are so impressed! Best part was it only took 3 days and they were done. Plenty of time to enjoy our beautiful new deck before winter. We also like that Deck Dogs gave us a good credit for disassembling and hauling away our old one. Win-Win. We definitely recommend this company!

If you're thinking about installing a deck, do yourself a favor and ask Deck Dogs to come give you…read morea quote! They were very responsive, personable, and so easy to work with. I spoke to several companies for quotes. Some never got back to me after our initial talk. I had quite a few companies come out to give me quotes. I choose Deck Dogs because I felt Angie really understood my needs and gave me suggestions based on that and our family's lifestyle (2 active little kids that live to be outside, puppy who can't get enough of outdoors, and a place for us to relax). We also looked at options for materials and colors and what would stand up best to my family. I appreciated that she left me with everything I needed (bag of many decking samples, information for railing and lighting packages). The quote was also the easiest and most straight forward. They're pretty busy with everyone wanting home improvements due to COVID and more time at home. My deck project was completed a good 2 months before I was expecting it. And the quickness and thoroughness when the job started was amazing. They were very efficient, very professional and went above and beyond my expectations. They removed my old deck from my home builder that was of questionable quality and installing a new, larger one. Everything looks seamless. We love it. They went above and beyond what I expected (moving my kiddos sandbox and then moving to back and refilling it), patching all the spots where our previous footings were, and spreading the mulch we had under our deck to cover the bare spot where the old stairs were. Way beyond what I expected and the deck looks amazing!

I initially reached out to Doug's handyman service back in August with a small list of fixes I…read morewanted done around the house. (Small siding repair, interior door patch, caulking, etc). I used the contact us page on their website, I got a response the next day from Cory simply asking me what kind of siding I have, and if I had any extra pieces. No quote, no scheduled time to come out and look at any of the issues around the home. I responded to Cory that day letting him know about the siding and asked when they would get an estimate to me or schedule a visit. No response. I emailed Cory again saying I was still waiting a response and asked if Doug's Handyman Service was still interested in the jobs? No response. So I called their main number and left a voicemail, no response. I even filled out another inquiry on their site and got no response. I'm not sure why they ghosted me when I have many small jobs that I want to pay someone to fix. Either they are too busy or they don't want to jobs. Which is fine, but at least respond to the customers.

We highly recommend Joe Hanauer and his firm, Landscape Architecture, for hardscape landscape…read moreprojects. We had met with a half dozen other firms regarding replacement of a deteriorated, timber-lined hillside path to the lakefront. There were significant challenges due to slope, established trees, and limited site access. We also wanted the new path to be integrated and consistent with the existing landscape. At our initial meeting with Joe, we were impressed by his enthusiasm, creativity, and attention to details. We worked with him for about six months to refine the design, address permitting issues and select materials. Joe was always responsive to requests, offered constructive recommendations and enhanced the project design. Beyond replacing the path, we added a patio and seating area. The project took four weeks to complete in the fall of 2023. Joe's crew was exemplary - they were talented craftsmen - expert hardscape installers who worked hard all day and were mindful of neighbors' concerns - which were very few. The project was completed on time and on budget. We are pleased to have worked with Joe and his Landscape Architecture team and with the completed project.

Joe and his crew modified the existing landscape and added several touches of there own- what a world of difference! They have an excellent eye for beauty, but also function, such that our yard seems to take care of itself (well, except for mowing). Recently, we had an incredibly challenging water issue at our boat house. The property is over 100 years old, so we were told there wasn't much to do to change the drainage. Joe and his crew solved the issue after a bit of research. Not only have we solved the flooding, but the new deck is stunning. The crew was meticulous in removing the old and sweeping up after the new installation. The boat house hasn't functioned or looked this good in 100 years!
